The trend line through every sale puts a typical car at about $377,000 today, moving +5% a year. If that holds, about $398,000 in 12 months. A trend is not a promise: miles, color, options and history move any one car well off the line.

Known problems to check

• Coolant pipe fittings (glued/bonded) pulling out

  The GT1-derived Mezger engine's coolant manifolds use aluminium pipes bonded into cast housings; after many heat cycles (especially track use) the adhesive can let go and a pipe can pull out, dumping coolant, sometimes onto the rear tyres. Applies to 997.1 GT2 (BBI Autosport and Shark Werks list it among affected GT1-block engines). From the 911 Buyers shop: this is mainly a concern on cars tracked hard for long sessions; we don't see it fail often on cars driven on the road. Pinned pipes are still a plus when you buy or sell.

  Fix: Pipes pinned (or re-bonded/welded) in the housings; normally an engine-out job, often combined with clutch/other work.

• Carbon-ceramic (PCCB) rotor wear/cracking

  PCCB discs (standard on this car) are condemned for chips, cracks or small amounts of wear; replacement is very expensive, and many cars have been converted to steel. Mostly a concern on tracked cars.

  Fix: Inspect rotors (and pad thickness) before purchase; replace damaged rotors, or convert to iron rotors.
